To me, a bust is someone who never produced well on the field. Not to someone who didnt live up to his hype. Lendale, Vince, and Pacman all produced well on the field for us so therefore they were not busts. Chris Henry, Woolfolk, Paul Williams etc..

I only say it was Young cause dude said he was going to the Super Bowl and Hall of Fame. And now he's back in a classroom learning about obtuse angles.

Vince Young was a bust and he was taken with a #3 overall pick. However, he was OROY. That mitigates the "bust" label.

Note my statement "so far....." I think you'd be hard pressed to say the Locker has delivered ANYTHING close to a #10 overall pick as of yet. He was injured this year, but prior to that I didn't see anything to suggest he could win close games (save Detroit) which is a stretch.

I think we need to be honest with our projections of Locker based on what we've seen. He looks easily rattled, he is inaccurate and has good but not great mobility. We drafted him WAY too high.

The 2012 Jake Locker looked bad at times yes, but he was battling a separated shoulder most of the year. After he returned to action his shoulder still was popping out. Throw that in with a patch job O-Line and how could he not look rattled...

I think you have to account for draft position here. A #3 pick should be a long-term answer for a top skill position—the face of the franchise for the next decade. He gave the franchise that for a handful of games.

The long-term damage he created set the team back for years, IMO.[/quote]
